Vicki, Cheryl & Fred,
So sorry and surprised to read of Todd's passing. As a photojournalist, I interviewed him years ago for the Rivereast News Bulletin when he ran his reverse mortgage business. I found him to have a delightful personality, and know he will leave a big hole in your lives. God bless your family, and help you through this trying time.
